A transit gateway is a network transit hub that you can use to interconnect your virtual private clouds (VPC) and on-premises networks.
Transit Gateway (TGW) makes it possible to hub-and-spoke network design with multiple VPCs, VPNs, and on-premise networks.
TGW acts as hub and other networks connect it. TGW controls routing between networks
This makes network management easier when comparing to connecting multiple VPCs with only VPC peering
TGWs can be peered with other TGWs with Transit Gateway Peering
Share Transit Gateway resource to target account (which has the VPC to be attached) using AWS Resource Manager principal association
Accept the shared resource from target account
From target account, attach the VPC to TGW using Transit Gateway VPC attachment
Accept the attachment from account which has the VPC
